370 Drawing. To all whom it may coiweni:

it known that I, DANIEL F. Fnmmr, a citizen-of the United States, residing at 840 Butterworth A street, Grand Rapids,

5 county of Kent, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glue or Adhesive, of which the i01 lowing is a specification. This invention relates to improvements in 10 giue .or adhesive.

. -My improved glue is especially desirable and primarily-intended by me for use in the securing of fabrics, leather and the hke etal, such for example as the felt cush-- ion facings to sanding drums or fabric or leather to pulleys or to glass or wood and l various other articles. My improved lue is also adapted and suitable for various other uses where ordinary glue is employed.

The main objects of my invention are:

. First, to provide an improved-glue or adhesive which effectually adhere to metah'glass and' 'like surfaces, so that fabric, leather, rubber and the like may be secured to and efi'ectivelyretained thereon.

. ,Second, to rovide -anlimproved glue or adhesive whic greatstiength.

Further objects will definitely appear mm the detailed description to follow.

80 The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

- In the preparation of my improved glue I usethe following ingredients preferably in about the proportions stated: l-igniQ glass 85 75 parts, arabic 2, parts, 1 e extrac m from hard wow aslies 3 parts, m

skimmed or m1 W1 t e at removed pa ,vme- &1'-, preferably cider vine r 10 parts. L lolo matter is pre era y added but this is 4 op lonal. Y 4 I 1 These ingredients are preferabl com-- bined by mixing the .vinegar, and ye and the gum arabicand then adding the liquid glass and skimmed milkthereto. If desired D casein and water may added in lieu of es mi v If the glue is. too thick for easy application it can be thinned to proper consistency. by the addition of water without detriment thereto, in fact Tprefer to use it quite thin. Further should it become thick by evapora- "tion it may be thinned to proper consistency by the addition of water. The ingredients should be thoroughly mixed and should be remixed if allowed to Specification of Letters Patent.

stand for a considerable period bezre application.

My improved glue onadhesive is. particularly desirable and is primarily designed by me for use in securing fabric, leather, rubber or the like to metal, glass or wood, and it is particularly advantageous in the securing of felt covering to sanding drums and the like as the felt is so secured that it cannot'loosen or wrinkle in use as is likely to result with the ordinary means in securin such felts.

y improved adhesive is also well adapted for the securing of fabric, rubber, leather and the like to pulleys. The addition of hard wood ashes to the glue makes a very effective cement for use in building up crowns on pulleys and the like, a fabric such as cheesecloth being used in connection'there- "with and wrapped around and around the pulley with the repeated applications of the glue or cement. By this means, the desired crown can be built u on the pulley and a very superior anti-s ip surface provided therefon- A further advantage of my improved glue is that while it is very efficient in the securing of fabrics to iron, glass or wood, when it is desired to remove the same, water is applied, preferably hot water, leaving the article practically clean for the re-application of a new facing.

My improved adhesive is not only very desirable for the securingof fabrics or the like to iron, glass and the like but is desir- 9 able for and very superior for use where glue is employed. The same isnot, however, dwigned or intended for use .where subjected to the action of water as it is not waterproof and softens or dissolves under the action of water.

'Asatisfactory way of using, for example, in securing fabric to metal is to ap ly the glue to the metal and allow it to come somewhat tacky beforeapplying the fabric.

Time should be given to permit the glue to fully set before usingthearticle.

While I preferably combine the ingredients'in flie pro ortions indicated they may be quite consi erably varied and quite desira'ble results still be secured. I preferably use cider vinegar as acid vine ar does not secure so Satisfactory 9. pr uct. While I preferably-combine the ingredients in approximately the proportions specified the Examine.

proportion may be varied and a desirable product still be secured although the character of the product is more or less afl'ecned by such variations.

Having thus described my invention vhnt I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is 1. A glue or adhesive the constituent ingredients of which are Liquid glass, 75 parts, vinegar 10 parts, skim milk 10 parts gum arahic 2 parts, and lye extracted from hard wood ashes 3 parts combined into a mixture.
